six Days la Dead Bn.
Three men sat behind the great atove
i u the cai n of the Twilight, on tlreir
way to Troy. "Well," bail the man
who wit in the mitlille, 'I have good
reason to remember Bavaria ab long as
I live." Some curiosity was then ex
pressed, and the man told a terrible
story of suffering and death at Munich.
He says he w as In that city in 1S4S.
He was then a young man and was
taken ill of Kine kind of Indigent fever
After the fourth day he became deliri
ous and remembered nothing distinctly
until lie woke up and found himself
dead. Then he went on to describe the
manner of dealing with dead bodies.
There is a large vau't in the sub
urbs of the city called the dead-house.
There those wbo die arc hustied off al
most as soon as the breath has left
the body. They remain there twenty
days and then they arc buried if they
do not return to life. To each body Is
attached two wires connecting with
bells, which are numbered and hung
in the watchman's room adjoiuiug the
dead house. The least motion of the
body will ring the bell corresponding
with the number of the corpse. The
watchman's room is never vacant. Be
sides watchmen there are constantly
- friends of the dead watching the bells
intentlv but few of them ever ring.
After having given these details, the
man said that he went into a trance or
an unconscious coudition, and being a
stranger, hi body was hurried off to
the dead house. lie had no conscious
ness of going there, but when they
straightened him out on the cold slab
he knew what they were doing, but
was powerless to move or speak. When
he heard the great door creak and
clang on its hinges, he ave up all hope
of ever living again. He thought that
the was in a tomb that had been foreve
sealed. He remembered nothing more
until six days afterward (as he subse
quently learned.) Then he was sitting
bolt upright, and the tomb was full of
watchmen with lanterns. He did not
fi,r a moment comprehend his situation
he thought he had arrived at heaven
or the dark regions, he didn't know
which, and that the meu with lanterns
were there to convey him to bis fina'
abode. Then he thought he was
dreaming. Then he looked around liiui
and saw dead bodies on all sides, and
was about to fail backwards when one
of the watchmen seized him by the arm
and giving him a shaking up, said in
his native language : "Are you dead
or alive?" He jumped up and said,
"I'm alive! Let me out of here !" He
was then taken to the office, his name
recorded, and a physician sent tor. He
remained in the office a day and a
night, having taken some stimulants
and food, aud, feeling well enough, he
was allowed to go on his way. The
news of his resurrection did not seem
to create much excitement, although
such things rarely occurred. There
were some Kuglish and American peo
ple there who made quite a time about
it, and a full account of it was subse
quently printed in the London papers,
as soon as able to travel. When lie was
placed in the tomb the bell wires were
btlixeil to hts hand, but be knew noth
ing about it. The bells tingled, the
watchmeu said, on the night of the
tirst day of his entombment, but on.ex
amiuing the body no signs of life could
be discovered. But when he finally
came to life he pulled the bells so vio
lently t!.at they fell down. Then the
watchmen rushed in aud found him as
described. They did not seem terrified
in the least, but took in the situation in
a business sort of way. It was, how
ever, a terrible experience to him, and
w hen he discovered where he was and
what he was supposed to be, he nearly
died outright of fright. The watch
men told him that within their recollec
tion only two others had come to life,
but they did not lie as long as he did
lie Ilidu't Want to Cet Rich.
Mr. Canfield went iu to have a little
talk with his grocer a morning or so
ago. He began as follows :
"I bought a quart of elder here the
other day :
"Was it good?"
"Yes, sir; it was first-class, and I
measured it, too.
"Was it all right?" inquired the
dealer, turning a little red in the face.
"No. sir; the measure was wrong.
You gavs me a little too uincc about
a cupful over, And then the other day
I got a pound of coffee here. I took
that home and weighed it, too."
"Uow much did it weigh, sir?"
Jiut a pound to a hair. I also order
ed a peck of potatoes yesterday. I
measured them and whatdoyou think ?"
"I don't know, I'm sore," said the
grocer breathlessly.
"There was exactly a peck. You
have made but one mistake since I have
been dealing with you. The week be
fore last, when I ordered a mackerel
j on sent me two stuck together."
"I never make mistakes in my own
favor," murmured the grocer as he
rubbed his bands together and chuckled
with pleasure.
"I know you don't, I know you dou't,
and that's where you make a fool of
yonr-elt. I have noticed all along that
you are perfectly square, so I thought
I'd just step down and give you some
good advice before you ruiu yourself
and family. If you are or pretend to
be a business man and want to make
money you must relonn; turn over a
uew leaf; convert yourself to the sys
tem of giving short weights. You'd
like to live in a snowy cottage with li
lac bushes insiiie the fence and a cast
iron representation ot Holores squirting
er3-stalline gems up in the air, wouldn't
you ?"
"Indeed I should, sir."
"And wouldn't you like to dress
your wife in style and have a carriage
for her, aud enable your daughters to
be educated in Europe and marry
counts, and send your son to college
and make a paragrapher of him, eh ?"
' That would be nloo."
"Well, it's in your power to do these
things. You may as well as not hold
your head up like a Congressman.
Now, I have an agency for false weights,
fourteen ounce pieces are marked two
pounds, and other weights in propor
tion, and I should like to supply you
on condition that you won't use them
In making up my things,
"I dou't think I care for any to day,
sir."
"None to-day ! None to-day '. Here
I come and offer to prostrate you with
wealth and happiness and you won't,
allow me to! Throwing away a gold
en opportunity when it is rammed
riht under your nose! Good morn
ing, I have no more time to waste;
good morning." Then be stepped out.
AGRICULTURE.
JSIIKKP II I'sBASORT is Tkx s In 11
liiKtratiou of the rapidity with which
sheep husbandry is advancing in Tex;uj
Sheep liuslxindri in the WA aays that
durins the year ItfGti fan Atonio raised
but (JOO.OfK) pounds of wool. In 1S77
the amount reeeited was 2,000.000
pounds. This year there will be ship
ped G,.VK).000 pounds. John L. Hayes,
in an address before the National Con
gress at New Haven, f t., touching up
on the subject of extended wool-raisiug
in Texas, said that with its nearly
4,000.000 head of sheep, ouly two coun
ties (Nueces and Starr; are occupied,
and there are hO,000,OUO of land still un
1 oca ted. If two acres are required for
one sheep the usual estimates-and
only half the land is titted for sheep
culture, there are still enough unoccu
pied lands to supiort 20,000,000. In
Texas is found a climate so mild that
sheep will thrive with almost noshelter
at all. l'asturagc is allorded through
out the whole year by the indigenous,
perennial mesquiw grasses. Emigra
tion and sheep are jiouring in from the
Northern States and from California
and skilled shepherds are included
from Kurope and even Australia. The
wool-growers of Western Texas are be
coming well versed in the matter ol
handling their flocks on the range and
the fleeces at shearing time. They are
also bestowing more attention on the
character of the breed. Good heep
are in demand. ; Graded flock in which
the merino is crossed with the Mexican
sheep of the Ohourro race are frequent.
This race is distinguished for its robust
temperament, the facility with which
it is nourished, its resistance to hunger
and storms, and the rapidity with
which its ewes bcins crossed with pure
merinos improves the stock. A plea
for long wools in place of tine wools
has recenilr been made in the San An
tonio Esprets, which says of the long
wools, "They are hardier, better feed
ers, and being greater in size can travel
with less fatigue; they are also more
prolific and better mothers and their
lambs are stronger. The cost of herd-
in? the Ions wools Is much less than
for the merino, as usually 2,000 to 3,000
long-wool sheep are easily herded oy
one man.
Planting Grate-Vise. One would
siiiiose that so simple a thing as plant-
US' a crape-vine wouia nor. ueeu urg
ing about, and yet the number of peo
ple inquiring "llow shall we plant
is so treat that a few words to these in
quirers may well be pardoned by those
who think they already Know enougn
about the matter. The rule is to plant
the roots shallow. If they are long
when we have to transplant them, in
stead of setting them deep we lay tlieui
along ahout four or five inches beneath
the surface. It is of course very nec
essary to press the soil very hard and
firm over the roots; that is, if the earth
is Lole.-ablv urv. though in truth no
vine should be planted except the earth
is in this good condition. It is very
useful in planting a grape-vine to cut
it closely In. Unless the last year's
growth be very vigorous it may be al
most all cut away. This is the way to
get a good strong cane for bearing next
year, which is the most that one ought
to exoect a vine to do. "Immediate
beariiig" is a delusion and a snare.
Many a person spends a dollar or a half
dollar extra on a vine which he is told
by the seller "will bear this year,"
when for that amount of money he
could buy treble the quantity of grajies
it will bear for him, even if "it bears for
him at all. Still we like to plant good
strong healthy grapes. - The little crow
quills which come out as rare grapes
at high prices, seldom give much satis
faction. Indeed, it is more than likely
that the immense failures which gen
erally follow all these introductions
are as much owing to the way their
propagation is forced.as to any inherent
inability in the varieties to become
adapted to soils and climates.
Scitort LA in Cows. In the advanced
state of this disease, treatment of any
kind will be entirely useless. The di
sease like consumption in man, is in
variably fatal. But its mo-t serious
feature is the considerable period that
often elapses belore the result is reach
ed, and during which the animal be
comes less valuable. Milk fioin such a
cow is apt to produce phthiMs or cos
sumption In man; and it would be sui
cidal to consume it, knowing it to come
from such an animal.
I'i!ixixi. Trim moJerately every
year, but not heavily oftcner than once
in three years. Pruning may now be
done at any time when the days is
warm; cut off no limbs that are over an
inch in diameter. If you do not under
stand pruning yourself hire it done by
a C mipetent H-rson, but do not send an
ignoraut hired mau into your orchard
to cut and hew at will.

A Hunt After Itats.
Ii was many years ago, when Mr.
Eccles was young in his profession,
and while on a tour with a provincial
company, that he bad taken lodgings
in a clean but rather dilapidated little
house. Soon after going to bed he.fell
asleep, and soon after falling asleep he
was awakened by a strange, fluttering
noise as of a frightened bird, in the cur
tains of his bed. He sprang up, struck
a light, and saw a dark-colored little
creature with wings blundering about
the loom. Not being well acquainted
with natural history, Mr. Eccles that
was to be, did not recognize it as a bat,
but determined to catch it, if possible.
and examine it carefully in the morn
ing. Taking up a soft felt hat, he be
gan the hunt, and tried to catch the in
truder for a long time in vain; but tit
last he pounced upon it, carefully took
it from under the hat, shut it in a
drawer, listened to its ineffectual at
tempts to escape wanting to be sure
he had really caught it and went to
bed to dream of flying dragons. But
he was not destined to sleep long.
Hardly had he dozed off when another
fluttering awakened him, and lighting
another match he found another bat.
After this one be had another hunt,
caught it, put it in the drawer with Its
brother, aud again went to bed. Again,
however, he was awakened In a similar
manner; bats cams not in single spies,
but if the expression be pardonable
in battalions. Mr. Eccles hunted dil
igently and enthusiastically, making
quite a collection of specimens, and
putting them all with great eare in the
drawer. Heated with the chase, he
then opened the window, and, tired
out, at last enjoyed a few minutes sleep,
Waking with the morning lighi, he
jumped out of bed and opened the
drawer very cautiously, a fraction of
an inch at a time, to look for his bats;
but lo! and behold there were no bats
there. He opened the drawer wide,
and then discovered that it had no back
to it. He had, in fact, been passing all
his night in catching the same bat,
which had flown out of the back of the
drawer as soon as be had put it in at
the front, and when the window was
opened bad finally escaped.

Aniline Dyt. There has been at var
ious times much discussion on .what
inav lie termed the sanitary aspect of
the aniline dyes.. Although it may be
at first difficult to see in w hat way the
color of an article of costume can pos
sibly aflect health, yet the relation or
the one to the other is not so remote as
might be anticipated. Socks, stockings
and gloves are worn next to the skin,
and poisonous matter may thus be
brought into the system ; even the very
wear and tear of ordinary costumes, in
the event of the color not being of
very firmly adherent nature, result iu
a portion of coloring matter being lib
erated iu the form of a tine dust, and
thus Inhaled by the lungs. In France,
stringent measures have bad to be
adopted to prevent the artificial colora
tion of cheap wines with "fuehsine."
Kecent experiment have now be
yond doubt established that aniline
dyes, at least the reds and blues, are in
their pure condition comparatively in
rt, and that the ill effects which have
been sometimes attributed to the use of
these d yes are traceable, not to the pure
coloring matters themselves, but to
traces of arsenic which they contained,
and which arose from inefficient purifi
cation subsequent to manufacture.
Enterprising scientists may always be
found who are willing to become mar
tyrs for science or for notoriety, and
tlie present inquiry has had its self
sacrificing hero in the form of Herr
fceidler of Re-ra. who administered to
himself three-ouarters of a graiu of
aniline red every moruing for a period
of five weeks, without any ill effects.
When it is liointed out that a single
grain of aniline red is sufficient to im
part a good pink color to fifteen gallons
of alcohol, it would be necessary to
drink an enormous quantity of artificial
colored wine iu order to equal a single
morning performance ot Herr JseiUler
So far the question is prso'icilly settled.
the only remaining dittW olty being our
inability to ascertain w hither pure or
impure coloring material nas ueen useu
in anv purchased article: and it will
therefore be better, as a simple matter of
precaution, to be on our guard against
the indiscriminate use of ai.'.line dyes
for coloring purposes
Alloys of different materials in imita
tion of gold and 6ilver, applicable as
substitutes for these metals for orna
mental purposes, have leen produced
by Meiflren A Co., of Marseilles. To
make an alloy having the color and ap
pearance of gold, they place in a cruci
ble copperas pure as possible, platinum
and tuiigstic acid to the proportions as
statee below. When the metals are
completely melted they stir and pran
late them by running them into water
containing 500 grammes of slacked lime
and 500 grammes of carbonate of potash
for every cubic metre of water. This
mixture, dissolved in water, has the
property of rendering the alloy still
purer. The granulated metal is next
collected, dried, and, after remelting
in a crucible, a certain quantity of fine
gold is added. An alloy is thus produc
ed which, when run into ingots, pre-
en's the appearance of reil gold ol tne
standard of 750-1 ,000. The color of the
alloy may be changed by varying the
proportions of the uitlerenl meiais. .as
flux boric acid, nitrate of soda aud
chloride of soduin, previously melted
together in equal proportions, are used.
The proportion of flux to De employed
is 2; grammes per- kilogramme oi ttie
ailov. The proportions employed by
preference for producing an alloy of
red gold are:' Copper, goo grammes;
platinum, 2j; tungstic aeiu, 10, aim
gold, i,o grammes.
I'd Uj the latter half of last century
we had not reached to the excellence of
the locks that were in use in Egypt and
Chiua thousands of vears ago. and have
now for a very long period run in the
line of rediscovery or reapplicntion of
what had been tested so long ago in
them. The essential principle of the
Egyptian lock was movable pins or
nails dropping, each indejiendently, hi
lts own weight, into the bolt, and se
curing it on being touched at the right
iKiint by corresponding pins at the end
of the true ker, all of them requiring
to be raised together to the proper
height. The very latest idea in lock
making may be regarded as suggestions
or applications of this principle.

Shakespeare's Early Married Life.
The Hathaways bad li veil in Shottery
for forty years prior to Shakespeare's
marriage. The poet, then wholly un
distinguished, had just turned eighteen,
while bis bride was nearly tweuty-six,
and it is often sail now that she did
wrong to wed this boy-lover. They
were married iu November, 1552, and
their first child, Susanna, came in the
following May. Anne Hathaway must
have been a very wonderfully fascinat
ing woman, or Shakespeare would not
have loved her so; and she must have
loved him dearly as what woman, in
deed, could help it? or she would not
thus have yielded to his passion.
There is. direct testimony as to the
beauty of bis person ; and in the light
afforded by bis writings it requires no
extraordinary penetration to conjecture
that his brilliant mind, sparkling
humor, tender fancy, and Impetuous
spirit must have made him in his youth
the v( ry paragon of enchanters. It is
not known where they lived during
the first years after their marriage.
Perhaps in the cottage at Shottery.
Perhaps with Hamnet and Judith Sad
ler, for whom their twins, born in 15S5,
were named Hamnet and Judith. Her
father's house assuredly would have
been chosen for Anne's refuge, when
presently, in 158C, Shakespeare was
obliged to leave his wife and children,
and go away to London to seek his for
tune. He did not buy New Place till
1597, but it is known that in the mean
time he came to his country once every
year- It was in Stratford that his son
Hamnet died, in 15'JG. Anne and her
children probably had never left the
town. They show her bedstead and
other bits of furniture, together with
certain homespun sheets of everlasting
linen, that are kept as heirlooms to this
day, in the garret to the Shottery cot
tage. Here is the room that must often
have welcomed the poet when he came
home from his labors in the great city.

simmer till the soda dissolves; let it
settle till clear, then drain off. . Put
white clothes to soak, the night before
washing, iu boiling rain water, without
rubbing in cold water, in which put a
spoonful of fluid for every pail of
water; Don nan an nour, meu wu

pound of potash, one ounce salts of
tartar, one ounce muriate of ammonia.
Dissolve the potash in two quarts of
hot water, add the other ingredients,
and two quarts more hot water. When
cool put in a jug or glass fruit jars. To
use it put one teacup of the fluid to
three pails of water, and add a teacup
of good soft soap (or its equivalent of
hard soap shaved fine). Place the
least-soiled clothes in the boiler in
cold water, with the fluid aud soap,

clothes are removed from the boiler
lift in those from the tub without
wringing. After boiling vash in warm
water, using as little soap as possible;
rinse and hang. Third Half a pound

Takixi: ( i.i. How shall a person
who is sensitive to cold, who takes cold
whenever a door is opened or a window

with the greatest care the temperature

should each day bathe his chest and

body iu cold water, and follow this
witii a vigorous rubbing with a coarse
rowel. What is called the splash-bath
is. perhaps, better than any other for
this purpose. Jt consists simply in
dashing water against the body with
the hand. I bis causes a slight shock to
the skin, which brings the blood to t.'ie

deep inspiration of air, which expands

followed bv a little brisk exercise in a

a iierson unaccustomed to this should
not commence in cold weather; but
beginning in the summer, he will find,
as the wiuterapproaches, that his abili

the falling of the thermometer, and
that his susceptibility to changes of

Fashionable FooUshneM.
There is no modern fashionable
notion quite so absurd as the generally
received idea that to be beautiful and
attractive a woman must possess a wan,
spirituelie face and a figureof sylph-like
proportions a fragility In nine cases
out of ten the result of disease. By
many fashionable belles it is considered
a special compliment to be spoken of as
frail and delicate. They forget that the
naturally delicate face and petite figure
are very different from the pale and
disease-stricken faces that meet us in
the city thoroughfares, look out from
the luxuriant carriages of wealth, and
glide languidly through our crowded
drawing-rooms. If disease were on.
fashionable, as it ought to be, not a lajy
in the land but would take every pos-
gibie precaution to secure the fresh,
blooming face and well-rounded figure
that only health can give. Ladies
should remember that much as gentle
men may profess to admire the face and
form paled and emaciated by disease,
when they choose a wife they prefer a
blooming, healthful, buoyant-spirited
woman. Dr. .Pierce's Favorite Pre
scription is the acknowledged standard
remedy for female disease and weak
ness. Jt has the two-fold advantage of
curing the local disease and imparting
a vigorous tone to the whole system. It

stood at the bar. and to the surprise and f
alarm of every body, Nelson sprang u.

teeth through the waiscoat, ana now

a Wrong eflort, Nelson's owner released
the man, who confessed mere auu
that the cause of the dog's anger arose
from the fact that "he was the man
who stole him, took him to London oy
the canal-boat, where he sold mm anu

have traveled from London to Manches

A remarkable incident occurred re
cently, about five miles from Pottstowu
Pennsylvania, on the Denton road. e-
bastian Schafer and a young man in bis
... . 1
employ, named James Kineru uau
started from home to the timber to get
a load of wood. Schafer wis driving
the. team and Kinerd, was riding an ex-
... , i . i. . .
tra horse with Harness ou. u
Schafer had driven about half a mile
from home, he saw a large bay horse,
about twenty steps from the road biting
at one of bis hiud feet. The horse came
out on the road, and was soon followed
by a dog that had followed the wagon
from home. At the sight of the dog
the horse started at full speed down the
roail in the direction of the wagon.
Shafer turned the team on the road,
thinking the horse would pass on, but
instead it sprang on the wagon, and
struck him with his fore feet, knocking
him fiat on hU back, at the same time
grabbing hiui on the right shoulder.
Tie horse stood nearly over bun and
roue nearly two hundred yards, biting
at him, anil all the time squeaking and
kicking. Shafer kicked the infuriated
beast and fought it with his fists, but it
succeeded in biting him several times.
Finally Schafer rolled off the wagon,
stopped his team and struck the horse
cveral blows with a ioIe he lound in
the road. Kinerd ran up and tne two
succeeded in beating the horse off the
wagon, but as it fell off his hind feet
got hung in the front bounds of t!ie
wagon, and several minutes passed be
fore they got it released from that po
sition, all of which time Shafer beat it
over the head with a single-tree. On
being released it tried to leag clear over
the wagon again to get at the man, but
failing ran in the direction of some
other horses in a pasture aud tred to
get at them. Shafer set the dog after
the horse, aud after running about
twenty minutes at a rapid speed it fell
in a lane, where it died. It was decided
by everybody round that the horse had
the hydrophobia.
